    Makes a great gift for someone you love. You should always wait until there is a special Apple deal going on or until the new model comes out and the pricing on the last one goes down. Owned it for a while now and battery life has deteriorated a bit, but I'm not surprised about that. 42mm is a great size for anyone.

    I upgraded to the Apple Series 3 from the Series 1 and LOVE it. I primarily wanted the water proof option to be able to take swimming. I love the brighter screen resolution and the faster processing speed is awesome. The new watch accepted my previous watch set-up from my iphone, so I was up and running in the matter of minutes. Thrilled with the purchase!!

    I never saw the need for a smart watch but having owned it for a couple of weeks now I do find it very convenient. Instead of pulling out my phone, I can quickly look at my watch. In addition, instead of buying an expensive watch, the Apple Watch gets an automatic pass for a nice watch. The Apple Watch 3 is a great value when on sale as well.

    Got this as a gift from my girlfriend for Christmas. Great battery life, tracks my heart rate as well as my calories burned. I use it every time I work out to track my heart rate to make sure I'm constantly pushing myself. No longer need to pull out my phone while I'm jogging to change the song, I can just touch the screen on my watch to change the music !

    This watch replaced my Apple watch 1 that I had for 3 years. This is waterproof & more features. Favorites are fitness tracking, text msgs, and seeing who is calling without having to check phone.

    This watch can do everything, It has many features and you can control your apps on the watch . My favorite is the health app it tracks everything of the distance you walk , It gives you all the information that you ever need for your health I highly recommend this watch to anybody for less than $200

    I’m a big fan of the Apple Watch. I had the original, then Series-2, and now this one. It’s a worthy upgrade that counts flights climbed and Siri voice response ... both upgrades from V2. It’s a must-have for anyone with an iPhone who wants to track fitness and not constantly have thier phone in their hand to check in on important reminders or alerts.

    Great accessory to make iPhone better. Takes a little time to adapt but tracks runs well. Allows you to see alerts without picking up your phone.

    Finally decided to buy this as a gift for my boyfriend because he has been wanting one for a while. It came with 2 nice and basic bands but my boyfriend actually preferred the matte black over seperate ones to purchase. It lasts a very long time and charges quickly. We did not include the cellular plan since the main difference is you get to still receive calls.

    The watch came with easy to follow directions. Pairing to my phone was automatic. After a period of familiarization with the application on my phone and the watch I was able to better understand the capabilities and continue to learn and enjoy.

    I originally bought this watch for my boyfriend so he can track his mileage when he runs and listen to music hands-free. He loved the watch and never leaves it at home. I wasn’t aware that the watch gets notifications that your phone gets if your phone is nearby so that was a nice little surprise.

    Much better than original Apple Watch

    Saw an open box Apple Watch Series 3 and immediately bought it to replace my old Apple Watch 0 (which I bought refurbished from Best Buy). The difference with the battery is day and night -- the battery now lasts close to two days, maybe 2 1/2. I didn't want to pay a monthly surcharge for the LTE so the series 3 with just wifi works just fine. With Wifi Calling turned on, you can use it pretty much anywhere in my house even far from the iPhone. As for the features, the new GPS function is an improvement -- nice to have a little map when I do some runs or maps. Water resistance is nice but I have yet to test it. Apple should include a better watch band instead of the silicone one, but replacement bands are easy to find online. You buy the Apple Watch for notifications and the occasional taking calls. For notifications such as Text Messaging and getting notifications from CNN, NY Times etc, this is very nice. Mail works, so does Outlook calendars and mail. The other best feature is the music control, so you can control music from your wireless headphones. All in all, this is a watch for every day use and not a "fit" watch for just working out. As for Best Buy -- their open box are the best ways to shop, saving you at least 20-30% from a new one.

    So far does all it's supposed to. Although I'm the older generation, I can amswer phone call, count my steps, be notified of mail, etc. and the list goes on. I'm told it's very Star Trekish. Bought a different bracelet to be more stylish. Although a little pricey, I'm pleased with it.
